“Calling an audible”<p.
I love that term for politics. Actually I like all football analogies for politics.
well here’s mine:
It’s Trump U vs. the GOPe, and the score is 42-3. When star QB Jeb! failed to score even after a pep talk with his brother and mom at halftime, Coach Priebus pulled him with 5 minutes to go in the 4th quarter and sent true freshman “Little Marco” in to extract victory from the jaws of defeat.
(Here’s a little known truth about Little Marco: He actually did play college football, first at tiny Tarkio College in Missouri where he received a scholarship. Tarkio as in “Tarkio Road” the iconic 1970 album by highly popular hippies and dopers “Brewer and Shipley”.)
